Are you looking for an internship or a master thesis and want to get to know the work of a Power Electronics Researcher (d/f/m)?  Then apply now! We look forward to you supporting us in the Electrification Technologies department as an intern (d/f/m)! 

• Location: Taufkirchen/Ottobrunn
• Start: December 2026
• Duration: 5-6 months

Are you passionate about power electronics and eager to work on next-generation hardware designs? We offer a flexible and exciting opportunity – whether you are looking for an Internship or a Master Thesis. Join our team to design, simulate, and build innovative power electronic converter systems.

Your location

Our site is just a stone's throw away from Munich, the beautiful capital of Bavaria. Are you into sports and other outdoor activities? The Alps and Lake Starnberg are within an hour’s reach, offering a multitude of recreational options.

Your benefits

• Attractive salary and work-life balance with a 35-hour week (flexitime).
• International environment with the opportunity to network globally.
• Work with modern/diversified technologies.
• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Research & Exploration: Investigate modern semiconductor devices (e.g., SiC, GaN)
  and innovative converter topologies suited for high-performance applications.
• Simulation & Modeling: Use PLECS and LTSpice to model converter topologies,
  analyze circuit behavior, and validate design concepts prior to prototyping.
• Hardware Design: Design and develop PCBs for power electronic prototypes, focusing on optimized layout for fast switching and low parasitic inductance.
• Prototyping & Testing: Assembly, testing, and initial operation of power electronic
  circuits in the laboratory, verifying simulation results with real-world measurements.

 Desired skills and qualifications

• Enrolled full-time student within Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering or a similar field of studies.
• A solid understanding of basic power electronics components and inverter topologies.
• Proven experience in PCB design and layout (preferably in KiCAD). This is essential for the practical aspects of the work.
• Proficiency and enthusiasm for circuit simulation using tools like PLECS and LTSpice, geared towards research and rapid prototyping.
